Liposuction has been used successfully for many years in the world of cosmetic surgery. Designed to enhance the most commonly cited problem areas such as the stomach, thighs, and bottom, the procedure works by removing stubborn fatty deposits from areas typically difficult to reach through diet and exercise alone.Even though liposuction is usually done on an outpatient basis, it does have significant recovery times with associated bruising, swelling and pain lasting around two to three weeks. It can take many months to really see results from liposuction meaning this is not a treatment for patients looking for instant improvement.Because PRP cuts recovery times, increases cell stability, and promotes healing, it is the perfect adjunct to liposuction procedures.Safe and effectiveAdding PRP to surgical procedures works by stimulating blood vessel growth and promoting collagen production: both major players in the healing process. In addition, PRP treatment is entirely autologous, which is a major benefit to patient and medical practitioner alike. There is no risk of rejection of foreign material or allergic reaction, and the possibility of infection is incredibly low; a definite plus point for prospective patients.How it worksProcessing the patient’s own blood to deliver a concentrated dose of platelet-rich plasma super-sizes the body’s own healing process. Platelets get to work to begin clotting, trigger the production of growth cells, and are responsible for the healing process by stimulating collagen production and the growth of new blood vessels. Platelet-rich plasma helps to speed up recovery time because of the concentrated dose of platelets, and can reduce trauma responses such as swelling and bruising.Added BonusUsing PRP during such procedures also opens up the possibility of using the retrieved fat elsewhere in the body. Fat transfer procedures have traditionally meant unpredictable results because the harvesting and processing causes minor damage to cells. PRP acts directly upon the cells concerned making them viable thanks to increased stability before the transfer procedure takes place.Further, adding PRP to the fat transfer site means the process of angiogenesis is enhanced. Improving the connection between the transferred fat and the blood supply is an innovative way to improve the aesthetic outcome.Because PRP is an extremely effective adjunct to fat transfer procedures, such treatments are growing in popularity and can also be used on more delicate parts of the body.Patients and practitioners looking for the latest in innovative cosmetic enhancement procedures need look no further than PRP.PRP is the innovative adjunct treatment your practice has been looking for.Get in touch todayClinics Direct provides everything you need to extract, process and re-apply in our single use e+PRP platelet rich plasma preparation kits.
